Kamala Harris’ vice presidential running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) was caught in another misrepresentation during his 2006 run for Congress, Alpha News reported Friday.

Walz, who was born and raised in Nebraska and enlisted in the Nebraska National Guard at seventeen, falsely claimed he had been named “Outstanding Young Nebraskan” by the Nebraska Chamber of Congress. After the chamber’s president sent a scathing letter to the Walz campaign a few days before the 2006 election, the campaign blamed a typographical error and claimed the award actually came from the Nebraska Junior Chamber of Commerce:

Alpha News excerpt:

In early 2006, when Walz ran for the U.S. House of Representatives, his campaign website stated that he had received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his contributions to the business community. This claim was refuted by Barry L. Kennedy, then-president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, who confirmed in a letter that Walz had never been the recipient of any such award.

“We researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce,” Kennedy wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by Alpha News.

Kennedy then requested that Walz remove the inaccurate claim.

“I am not going to draw a conclusion about your intentions by including this line in your biography. However, we respectfully request that you remove any reference to our organization as it could be considered an endorsement of your candidacy. It should be pointed out, however, that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has endorsed your opponent, Congressman Gil Gutknecht, for his support of small business issues,” Kennedy wrote in a letter dated Nov. 1, 2006.

Walz’s website was later updated, replacing “Nebraska Chamber of Commerce” with the “Nebraska Junior Chamber of Commerce.” His campaign manager at the time called the flub a “typographical error,” according to a 2006 Rochester Post Bulletin report.

The letter was reposted Saturday by the Trump campaign’s Tim Murtaugh:

Some of the stuff Tim Walz has lied about is pretty nuts.

The Washington Free Beacon found the false claim in a cache of the 2006 Walz campaign bio at this link.

Upon his return to the U.S. in 1990, Walz served full-time in the Army National Guard. He subsequently accepted a position teaching and coaching in Nebraska where he met his wife, Gwen Whipple. In 1993, Walz was named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his service in the education, military, and small business communities

The Free Beacon also reported another exaggerated claim was taken down by the 2006 Walz campaign (excerpt):

Also gone from Walz’s biography is a reference to another award he touted when he launched his congressional bid. In 1989, he said, the year he graduated from college, he “earned the title of Nebraska Citizen-Soldier of the Year.”

That is a significant exaggeration that makes it sound like Walz was the sole recipient of an award. In reality, Walz was one of 52 reservists in 1989 who were invited to a brunch in Omaha for the “31st Annual Citizen Soldiers Awards,” put on by the Aksarben Foundation, a local non-profit that, at the time, owned a race track and funded community events through horse betting.

A newspaper article on the event said the 52 reservists at the brunch were honored “for military reserve service.” The newspaper announcement was followed by an item that said Barnie Calef, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was the sole winner of a duck calling contest.

The episode fits a pattern of lies and embellishment by Walz to further his political career. Walz has been called out for lying about his retirement rank in the National Guard, falsely claiming to have served in war, allowing others to falsely claim he served in a war zone, lying about the timing of his retirement as his unit was put on notice of a deployment to Iraq, lying about his DUI arrest and lying that he children were conceived via IVF when they were actually conceived with Intrauterine insemination.

The Harris campaign has corrected to two of Walz’s lies (about his retirement rank and serving in war) and has acknowledged knowing about his lies about his 1995 DUI arrest before he was chosen by Kamala Harris to be her running mate this month.

An Ohio woman reportedly decided to shock her neighbors by turning a cat into her latest meal right in front of them!

According to the Canton Police Department, 27-year-old Allexis Telia Ferrell allegedly killed the cat by first stomping on its head.

According to reports by The Daily Mail, Ferrell allegedly stomped on the cat’s head repeatedly until the animal was dead. Witnesses were left stunned as Ferrell then proceeded to eat the animal’s remains right there in front of them.

The incident has shocked the local community, raising questions about Ferrell’s motives and mental state.

The Canton Police Department responded to the scene shortly after the incident was reported. As stated in court documents, officers quickly took Ferrell into custody on Friday evening. She now faces several charges, including injuring animals, prohibitions concerning companion animals, and disorderly conduct.

Adding to her legal troubles, court documents reveal that Ferrell’s bond has been set at a substantial $100,000. This high bond amount reflects the charges’ severity and the alleged crime’s shocking nature. Should Ferrell be unable to post bail, she will remain in custody until her court date.

This unusual case has drawn significant media attention, with national news outlets picking up the story. While some are focusing on the legal aspects, others are examining the broader social and psychological factors that may contribute to such shocking behavior.

What kind of pharmaceuticals was she on (if any). This should be part of the story in these cases. Are they taking prescribed medication and what kind(s).

For now, Ferrell remains in custody with a bond set at $100,000. As the legal process unfolds, the community is taking a measured approach, reflecting on how to address such disturbing incidents.

Meanwhile, the $1 trillion-a-year trade route of the Red Sea continues as dangerous as ever, as the Houthis published footage of Greek ship SOUNION being blown up.

Associated Press reported:

“Fire broke out Friday on a Greek-flagged oil tanker previously attacked by Yemen’s Houthi rebels this week, with the vessel now appearing to be adrift in the Red Sea, authorities said.

[…] A United States defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, said American officials were aware of the fires and continued to monitor the situation.”

SOUNION was staffed by 25 Filipinos and Russians, as well as four private security personnel.

They were taken by a French destroyer to nearby Djibouti.

“The Sounion had 150,000 tons of crude oil aboard and represents a ‘navigational and environmental hazard’, the mission warned. ‘It is essential that everyone in the area exercises caution and refrains from any actions that could lead to a deterioration of the current situation’.”

Three simultaneous explosions appear to have struck the deck of the ship, suggesting an attack conducted by planted explosives rather than a strike by missile or drone.

“The Houthis have targeted more than 80 vessels with missiles and drones since the war in Gaza started in October. They seized one vessel and sank two in the campaign that also killed four sailors. One of the sunken vessels, the Tutor, went down after the Houthis planted explosives aboard it, after its crew abandoned the ship due to an earlier attack, the rebel group later acknowledged.”

Multiple other missiles and drones were intercepted by the U.S.-led coalition in the Red Sea or failed to reach their targets.

“The rebels maintain that they target ships linked to Israel, the U.S. or the U.K. to force an end to Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza. However, many of the ships attacked have little or no connection to the conflict, including some bound for Iran.”

Houthis published footage of Greek ship SOUNION being blown up in the Red Sea following.

The 25-member crew was rescued by an EU naval mission.

The tanker was carrying crude oil from Iraq to Greece when it came under attack.
